 Q. How do you access user interface elements?

+Q. ThatÕs too hard, especially all that scrolling.
+
+A. If you need to access a view (such as a button or text field) or
+   window, youÕre in luck.  Click in an F-Script workspace window, then
+   choose ÒAssociate With InterfaceÓ from the ÒFSAÓ menu.
+   Follow the instructions in the window to select a user interface
+   element, view it in an object browser or assign it to a variable.
+
+
+Q. F-Script Anywhere fails miserably on Jaguar.
+
+A. So IÕve heard (I donÕt have access to Jaguar developer seeds).  This
+   is an issue with libPatch, and affects far more than F-Script Anywhere.
+   Default Folder X and UnsanityÕs haxies are similarly rendered useless.
+   A Jaguar-compatible replacement for libPatch is under development,
+   but it does not yet contain support for applications such as F-Script
+   Anywhere (which is unique in its use of libPatch).  IÕll fix this
+   as soon as it does.
+
+
+Q. I don't like F-ScriptÕs syntax.  I don't like the object browser.
    I don't like you either.
